The San Francisco 49ers have a new defensive backs coach and passing game coordinator after setting an NFL record for the fewest interceptions in a season with just two in 2018.
The team on Thursday announced the hiring of Joe Woods, who spent the last two seasons as the Denver Broncos defensive coordinator. He’ll replace Jeff Hafley who recently became a co-defensive coordinator at Ohio State.
“In addition to being a tremendous coach with a wealth of knowledge, Joe is a great person that we believe will help bring the best out of our players,” head coach Kyle Shanahan wrote in a statement.
